The risk of a vaccine is very low. But emotionally it is hard to accept.
It is my actual choice to have the vaccine and go from 0 chance of vaccine-related blood clots to some non-zero value. Whereas catching covid feels more like I'm in control of not catching it by not leaving the flat, and even if I did catch it, chances are it'd not affect me that much.
I know this is not totally logical, but it is difficult to get past emotionally. Imagine if I did get blood clots from the vaccine - I'd go from safe in my flat and healthy, to dead, and for what? To protect me from a virus that has an even lower chance of causing long-term problems, and from which I can protect myself by being careful.
